The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What players say

Players call Space Warpster a genuine throwback to 80s arcade and home computer shooters, with many comparing its feel to Zynaps or Life Force. The game is widely considered very hard, with one-hit deaths and only three lives. The soundtrack is singled out as a highlight. A few players note the minimal feature set and that it is not strikingly original.
